Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 80 – Yang Family

The Yang family had an unwritten rule to recruiusband, which was that the husband’s cultivation must be at least martial arts realm or higher. This way, while recruiting a husband, he could also recruit experts to consolidate power for the family.

However, many experts in martial arts realm were proud and arrogant people, and being a son-in-law was not a glorious matter, so the additional husbands that the Yang family recruited for their daughters who were to be married off were mostly those rogue cultivators who came from Martial Realm Cultivator.

Yang Junshan’s ninth uncle, Peng Shidao, was noogue cultivator. The Peng Family had inherited several generations of cultivators in the Bluestone Town, and their clan was flourishing far above Yang Junshan’s uncle’s. Peng Shidao’s father was a cultivator with a second stage of martial arts realm, and could be considered to be an expert in the Bluestone Town.

Ninth Aunt Yang Tian Ling was the second daughter of Yang Junshan’s grandfather, Yang Lie. She was Yang Tiangang’s half-sister, and was also born from the Wang clan, along with Fourth Aunt Yang Tian Fang. She was ranked ninth among the Yang family’s second generation children.

However, his stubborn father, Yang Lie, had firmly stuck to his status as an extra son-in-law and the limits of his martial arts realm, and firmly refused to allow the two of them to marry each other. And although the Peng Family was not as powerful as the Yang Family, they were still unwilling to send their son to the Yang Family to be their son-in-law.

In order to reach Yang Lie’s requirements as soon as possible, Peng Shidao forcefully broke through martial arts realm. Even though he succeeded in the end, he still damaged his foundation, and in the future, not only did his cultivation no longer improve, the injuries within his body would often recur. Originally, a high-spirited youth had become a sick man.

Even if Peng Shi was willing to be the son-in-law of the Yang family, how could Yang Lie be willing to let his daughter marry such a man who looked as if he wouldn’t let her live, not to mention that Peng Shi’s injured foundation could still contribute some strength to the Yang family, and might even become a burden to the Yang family.

This time, it was Ninth Aunt Yang Tian Ling who used her life to force the hand of Peng Shi. This made Yang Lie even more infuriated. Yang Tiangang, Yang Tian Fang and the other female juniors had come forward to plead for mercy, but they were all chased out by Yang Lie.

In the end, it was Yang Junshan’s great-aunt, Yang Lie’s third sister, Yang Yan, who came forward to persuade his big brother, who finally agreed to the marriage. Although the Peng Family was also unwilling, after seeing the two youngsters in sucredicament, they did not go against their wishes anymore.

The Bluestone Town had many spirit mines, and the Peng Family had been able to pass on their legacy for generations because the Peng Family operated a Broken Vein Stone mine. Every year, they could produce a small amount of Broken Veins Powder, which was a magical medium grade spirit material with a wide range of uses in refining, talisman crafting, and setting up arrays.

Five years ago, Peng Shidao’s father and his only brother were buried in a cave mine that had suddenly collapsed. Even though Peng Shidao’s father had the martial arts realm of his body, his divine ability was still insufficient.

In the Peng Family, other than Peng Shidao, who had been added into the family, there was only Peng Shitong, who was not yet an adult. When Peng Shidao heard this grievous news, his already terrible injuries worsened.

At that time, there was a voice from the Madame Yang who wanted to accept all of the Peng family’s minerals and lands, and when Yang Tiangang and his wife heard the news, they even threatened them with death. At that time, Yang Tiangang, who was competing with Yang Tianlei for the position of Madame Yang’s Patriarch, had even reprimanded the clan members who had these thoughts.

For the past five years, due to the protection of the Peng family, the Yang family had not been able to make a move. However, because of this, Peng Shidao had expended all of his energy and blood, which finally led to him dying young, and the Peng family’s property was soon annexed by the Yang family after Peng Shidao’s fall.

After resting at his uncle’s house for the night, Yang Junshan returned to the Yang Mansion the next day to pay his respects to his grandmother, Wang Shi. As the daughter of the elder of Heaven-Shaken Sect, Dao Master Wang Qian, she had an extraordinary cultivation level when she married Yang Lie. After Yang Lie’s death, her cultivation level at the fourth level of martial arts realm became the strongest in the Yang family.

Not only did the Yang family require the backing of an expert from the realms of life, they also needed an expert from the Bluestone Town on the surface. From this point of view, Yang Tianchen and Yang Junshan’s second grandfather’s cultivation, which was at the third level of the martial arts realm, was somewhat insufficient.

Although Lady Wang’s face was dignified and dignified, she couldn’t see any trace of her beauty when she was young. However, her lifespan was oveundred, and after marrying into the Yang family for so many years, her cultivation had never increased, so she probably lost the possibility of further advancement. However, because she had been in charge of the Madame Yang all year round, her expression held a dignified air.

“Greetings, Grandmother!” Yang Junshan’s expression was calm.

Lady Wang’s gaze swept across, causing Yang Junshan to have a feeling that his entire body was being seen through, he knew that the Madame Yang was checking his own cultivation, and was already prepared for this, the Wutu Spiritual Art circulated in his body, and the hidden spirit cavities in his bone marrow were immediately concealed by the immortal crystals in his spine.

“Yi,” Lady Wang sighed: “The spiritual energy in your body is abundant, and your foundation is well-established. I heard that you obtained a mid-grade Yellow Ox Celestial Spirit in the Banyan Mountain, and that you are indeed much stronger than the Yellow Earth Stone your father brought back from the family. As for your cultivation, reaching the third stage at this age is already very precious!”

Yang Junshan replied: “Father’s supervision is strict, this grandson does not dare to slack off for even a moment!”

Mrs Wang nodded, and pointed out: “Tian Gang is very bold and cautious, but Grandmother knows that the reason my family recruited him to be the Wasteland Town was to temper him more, and now it seems that he has successfully experienced it. It can be seen that our family’s move towards chess was not bad, and the Tuqiu Village will definitely become a springboard for our Yang family’s expansion in the future.”

Lady Wang paused for a moment, then continued: “That Mengyu County is the most desolate place in Yuxian, since your father has already trained himself, staying there will be a waste of his talent, and now that I, Lao Yang, am here to hire a servant, I need your father back right now.”

Yang Junshan laughed coldly in his heart, wasn’t his family forced into that desolate land of the Mengyu County by his family back then? Now that his father had made sucuckus in the Tuqiu Village, his family would definitely not be able to pick peaches so easily.

Yang Junshan remained calm and continued: “All of this requires father to be in charge. Grandmother’s words will be given to father by your grandson.”

After bidding farewell to the Wang clan and coming out of the ancestral hall, an additional embroidered bag appeared in Yang Junshan’s hands. Aeward from the Wang clan, his interactions with the Wang clan more or less still maintained the etiquette for family, but this embroidered bag, when Yang Junshan flipped it over, took out three Jade Coins s from the bag. He couldn’t help but pout his lips and think: “I wonder if the Yang family’s days are really that bad, or if this grandson of mine is being displeased, these three Jade Coins’s bestowment is really too shabby.”

After he saw the Wang Clan, Yang Junshan immediately went to pay his respects to his second grandfather Yang Xi, his aunt Yang Yan and his fourth grandfather Yang Jiao. The three elders had all given him rewards, but they were still similar to the Wang Clan.

After leaving the Bluestone Town for more than four years, Yang Junshan’s appearance had changed greatly since he had grown up, many of the Madame Yang clansmen no longer knew this former third generation young master of the Yang Family, but Yang Junshan did recognize some of the people there, and the way they had walked caused the greetings to appear on their faces. After finding out Yang Junshan’s identity, the expression on the faces of the Madame Yang clansmen became even more amiable, and there were even some fawning on their faces, which was completely different from the desolate scene when Yang Tiangang’s family left the Bluestone Town back then.

It seemed that it was just as uncle said, the Yang family’s situation was not too good, many of the clan members were extremely passionate towards Yang Junshan, the son of Yang Cunzheng, who had a full supply of grains.

After leaving Fourth Elder Yang Jiao’s house, Yang Junshan originally wanted to pay a visit to Seventh Aunt Yang Tian Yan’s family. But unexpectedly, Seventh Uncle An Xia took his family out for fun, causing Yang Junshan to empty-handed.

He passed by a small courtyard on his way back, and saw that the white banner on the outer wall of the courtyard had not been removed, Yang Junshan hesitated for a moment before walking in, just as he saw a young lady walking out. It was Yang Junshan’s Ninth Aunt, Yang Tian Ling.

“You are, Xiaoshan?” Yang Junshan’s appearance looked more and more similar to Yang Tiangang’s; anyone closer to him would be able to guess his identity just by looking at his appearance.

“Ninth Aunt, I just came back from Wasteland Town, after I paid my respects to the four elders and heard about Uncle’s matter, I wanted to come over and kowtow!”

Yang Tian Ling’s eyes reddened. She sighed and said, “Good child, you are considerate!”

As Yang Tian Ling led him to the spirit tablet in the Peng Shi Dao, Yang Junshan knelt down obediently and kowtowed to it a few times. After another incense stick of time, he saw Yang Tian Ling take out a small but full spirit sealing bag.

“Ninth Aunt, you …”

Yang Tian Ling forced out a smile and said, “This is the middle-grade spirit material, the Broken Vein Powder, produced by your uncle’s family’s mine. I heard from your father about your purpose in returning to the Bluestone Town, your uncle originally promised to prepare some Broken Vein Powder for you. Now that the mine is not in your aunt’s hands, I can only give you this small bag.”

Although it was only a small bag, but to Yang Junshan, it was extremely valuable. This was way too much compared to the rewards he had received before, but Yang Junshan was not willing to take it.

“Martial Aunt, I can’t accept these things. Uncle is gone, and now only you and Tenth Sister are left relying on each other for survival. You guys should keep these things in case you need them in the future.”

Yang Tian Ling’s expression turned serious as she said, “If I tell you to take it, then take it. This Broken Vein Powder has many uses. When you become famous in the future, perhaps this aunt will have something to ask of you.”

Yang Junshan was helpless. Just as he held the Spirit Sealing Pouch in his hand, he heard sounds of people running away from the courtyard, and at the same time, a voice was heard: “Mother, my aunt had ambushed my uncle halfway, and they caught her!”

“What?” Yang Tian Ling quickly walked to the door and asked anxiously, “Where are they now?”
